effective when it is integrated with the core curriculum content. Technology improves student performance when the function supports student ability andprior experience, and provides feedback to the student and teacher about student performance or progress with the application and when the application isincorporated into the instructional day. In addition, the use of technology provides opportunities for students to design and implement projects that extend thecore curriculum being assessed by the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR). Our campus needs more capital outlay items in order tokeep up with the ever expanding educational technology components and in order for our students to reach Masters Performance status. These items includevideo document cameras, projectors, iPads, iPods, Google Cardboard goggles, and laptops. Our teachers and students are moving to teaching and learningusing a variety of technology items alongside learning all of the vocabulary and concepts as required by the Technology TEKS and will need the aboveresources to do so. In addition, students need to be provided additional learning opportunities to learn rigorous math and science content through the use ofcomputers, software, and websites.

Perceptions Summary

School Culture and Climate

Southmost Elementary faculty and staff collaborate to ensure that students are being provided with a safe, healthy, and disciplined environment conducive tostudent learning. Administrators and teachers meet on a weekly basis to discuss matters related to providing a positive school culture and climate.

Campus long range plans, policies and procedures, and safety issues are communicated to both parents and community members to assist thecampus in providing a positive culture and climate. Parents are strongly encouraged to get involved in volunteering opportunities that will assist their child’seducation. Issues are reviewed and discussed through consistent dialogue and both administrators and teachers create a plan to improve issues that affectSchool Culture and Climate. Furthermore, administrators, faculty, and staff consistently provide opportunities for professional collegial interaction to moldprofessional learning communities, positive working relationships, team building, and motivation.

Family and Community Involvement

Southmost Elementary is committed to involving parents and community members to be involved in our students education. Parental involvement is critical to the success of their child’seducation. Community involvement allows students to be exposed to learning opportunities as well.

This allows the SBDM committee to discuss opportunities to meet the needs inthese areas and further improve these areas. Title I funds allow the funding of a parent liaison. The role of the parent liaison is very important as it is the individual who transfers information toand from the campus to parents and communities. The parent liaison is responsible for implementing all Title I parental involvement requirements at the campus level that includes weeklymeetings and to provide opportunities for parents to volunteer and participate in campus educational activities. In addition, Title I funds assist in providing mileage reimbursements. The parentliaison compiles data on parental participation attendance and meeting agendas for the SBDM committee. With that information, the SBDM determines campus needs. In order to increaseparental involvement attendance rates, parent and community member volunteer opportunities are available throughout the school year.
